If it's about figuring out the algorythm used by their SecureID fobs, this is old news. At the last job during a PCI audit, the auditor was showing off the pen test tools he downloaded for free off the net. I think it was Cain and Able had a tool that did this; as long as you knew the serial numbers on the back (a brief amount of physical access or social engineering) it would report back the six digit number the fob was displaying. Obviously you still need the other parts of the credentials, but the algorithm used by the fob was already broken.
When I was in elementary school and day dream, my dad would tell me that I needed to "stop going to 'la la land'".He would even mockingly imitate me in "la la land" in the most obnoxious manner possible. This is one of the many BS things my parents did to me and my dad really doesn't get why our relationship is always on pins and needles. My mom OTOH doesn't realize our relationship is on pins and needles and copes with her own undiagnosed ADHD with a 2 liter diet soda everyday. My dad going diagnosed with ADD a few years ago and is completely ashamed of it; he doesn't want to talk about it, thinks everyone else must accommodate his BS because he has it, and refuses to accept that it's a reason for the behavior now but not an excuse now that he's diagnosed.
Seriously didn't find out that I was ADD until my ADHD wife told me I'm probably ADD, would benefit by getting tested, and then working with professionals on finding the best solutions to my problems. Found out a couple of years later from my mom that they knew I probably had ADD, but didn't want to get me any help (drugs or otherwise). Instead yelling at me about was their accepted solution.
My future daughter and potential children, I hope, will benefit from our experience as there's a good chance they'll have ADD. Pediatrician has already forbade computers and TVs being viewable by the munchkin; noise from the TV is discouraged as well, but classical music is encouraged./Yeah I mommy and daddy issues. Hopefully my children won't.
Faster data speed. This will be for customers upgrading their phone at the end of their existing contract and assuming there are no 3G smartphones and only LTE smartphones are available to be upgraded to. For those already grandfathered in on an unlimited plan with a LTE phone, I don't see them getting any benefit.
Obviously Global Payments or PCI has been slacking. They should have notified the bank that the card number has been stolen or may have been stolen. The card issuing bank would then have issued you a new card.
The TSA agents at the airport are not LEOs and I don't believe they have the authority to detain someone. That being said, they can have a police officer detain one, FAMS are LEOs, and the TSA supposedly has other groups that are LEOs.
Late in replying, I know. The SLA might be a regional thing or I might have been lied to. In an account I had six years ago it was 4 and the sales rep claimed that was still true today.
This year, they approved customer owned SB6120: https://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net./ In the past they would let you bring your own SB6120, but you would have to fight with them and get the right person. Success rates in the past were pretty low in getting them to cave. Most of the successes I've heard of have been due to them proving that the SMC did not work for what they were doing and would rather run their own equipment. On of the big reasons Comcast peddles that SMC POS is it gives them great remote diag info; having your own modem removes that capability. I'm hoping that they'll approve the SB6121 since the older model is getting hard to find at a reasonable price.
Last time I flew, they were putting all of the chubby women through. If you were a guy or skinny, you didn't go through. Bunch of bastards. Still, I had to completely empty my pockets including my ID and boarding pass; usually those are the two things I leave in my pockets. I don't know how that was a threat to national security.
IMHO, the terrorists won long ago. PATRIOT Act, Homeland Security, TSA, etc. have stripped away our freedoms. On 9/11/2001 people were use to the idea that terrorists would hijack a plane, make a ransom, and they'd be on their way. No one thought that they would be used as a missile into a building. These days people are aware and are willing to crack some skulls the next time someone tried it.
Get their business service branded as Business Class. Pretty much the same price without any new sign-up discounts, no contracts, no credit checks, no caps, 4hr resolution SLA, generally burst speeds are higher for longer, and you can run your own server within the TOS. Sure you have to lease their crummy SMC router/cable modem at $7/mo or go find yourself a SB6120. The down sides are it's a completely different account, your house will get classified as a business address in their DB, their CSRs can get confused at times even though I call the residential number for my TV service and the business number for the internets.
If they start asking a whole lot of questions of why you're not getting their residential service, just say you work from home and may hit that residential cap. If you have their residential TV as well, you'll still get adverts for their residential internet service.
Actually depending on where you live and its implementation it's called a hand brake, emergency brake, e-brake, or parking brake. Sure, it can be used in an emergency, but that's not it's only function nor is it its primary. Using it at speed will negatively affect brake bias and locking up the rear wheels has a large potential to put the car sideways. It really should be used whenever one parks their car. Not using when parking can lead to premature motor and/or transmission mount failures. Readjusting or running a new cable is generally cheaper than replacing those mounts.
In a number of cars I've seen where it's in the footwell, it has a nice "P" with a circle around it. That "P" probably stands for "Parking".
All VW, Audis, Seat, Skoda, and probably their other brands that employ a Drive By Wire throttle already have this. There is a delay by a few seconds so it's not immediate.The delay allows one to still execute most performance maneuvers that require both throttle and brake at the same time. I have heel-toed on all inclines without a problem in my R32.
Personally I find it stupid that one can't go from Drive to Neutral in some cars with an automatic.
This. Every WD HDD I've owned has died within the warranty period. I've had about an 80% failure rate within the warranty period at work. I use to be a Seagate fanboy and even risked buying three of the 1.5TB that had firmware problems (installed the patched firmware when I bought them and they're still running almost 5 years later). However, Seagate has definitely shown they've lost their way these past few years and I'm hesitant to risk buying from them again.
I was planning on buying some 4TB Hitachis to replace my aging Seagates when the prices came down to pre-flood pricing, but now I'm reconsidering. If this goes through, there won't be anyone left to trust. I guess I'm just going to have to go from a single parity raid to triple parity; I know it would be just my luck that two drives failed at the same time.
How does not voting for Obama = voting for McCain? They weren't the only two candidates on the ballot and there's even a write-in field. And don't say that if one doesn't vote for either party means they're throwing away their vote because that just keeps the two party BS rolling. If enough people voted, we could have someone from neither party in office.
Let's not forget about Engadget's liveblog as well as the dozens that are out there. I really don't know why Apple just doesn't stream it live; the media can still do their live commentary on how awesome or boring something is.
I will always at least have a server in my home that I put together myself. Unless a company makes a product that perfectly meets my criteria (near impossible), I'll always be upgrading components myself. There's a good chance that will stay the same with my desktop and HTPC. Heck, I'm looking to build my own router/WAP since the stars aren't aligning for what I'm looking for. Like the parent mentioned, I may have a tablet for casual browsing while I "spend time" with my wife on the couch with some crappy show she likes playing on the TV, however I foresee I will always have a need to buy components and build stuff for my home.
I hope Newegg keeps the current status quo. Their site is the most organized and generally helps narrowing down the exact make and model of what I'm looking for; even Amazon doesn't have a similar granular search capability that Newegg does. No, I don't buy exclusively from them for everything, however I do buy most of my components from them. They usually are competitive on price, but if a competitor is cheaper by a few bucks, I'll still buy from Newegg since I know I won't have any CS problems with them and it'll ship the same day if I order by that magical time.
Unlikely at your current job. I suggest looking for employment elsewhere. There are companies that are willing to pay the right amount given you have the necessary skills and experience. It took me a little over half a year to find a company. I was seriously considering taking a job that was strictly for VMWare or Exchange, but this one came and will leverage my existing repertoire along with managing new technology.
The thing that drives me crazy is a SysAdmin is expected to be an expert at everything under the sun, but they're only willing to pay $45k for it. Oh and you should feel appreciated that you're now making $50k after tailing for us for five years. Then they hire an "expert" (you actually know more than them and have to help them constantly) to support one little platform and they pay them $80k+.
I am celebrating today because I put in my notice. Current Chief Idiot Officer doesn't understand WTF I do, doesn't care to try and understand, and is quite content with paying peanuts for it.. So I found some place that's actually willing to pay a decent rate. I'm essentially getting a 65% raise. Bummer is I'm going to have to wait a month to start seeing that extra money.
That applies to criminal cases, not civil cases. The RIAA lawsuits are civil cases and you're pretty much guilty unless you can hire a good lawyer. In criminal cases, you're innocent and will be found guilty unless you hire a good lawyer.
I use my phone more when I'm away from an AP. Having to setup an AP profile and use the web login at a restaurant, coffee shop, or store just to look up something is a bit of a PITA and I'd rather use the wireless connection I'm already paying a hefty fee for the privilege. When I'm at home or in the office, I use my computer and really don't have much of a need to use my phone. I stream music and occasionally use navigation while I drive. Even when I don't stream music over the internet, I can still hit 2 gigs easily.
I wish the CEO of my employer would fire my CIO. That childish douchebag has completely trashed the IT department and is hemorrhaging his whole budget on a 3rd party company to add features to a barely useable webapp. He could care less about improving it so it functions better and the employees can do their job. Instead, the interface is a PITA, DBs aren't indexed, stored procedures are rare and written poorly if they exist, DB queries read like "select * from all" and then parsed from there, and I can't even get an approval to replace a seven year old laptop that doesn't work so an employee can do their job.
I've been tempted to communicate with the CEO, verbally or writing a letter, explaining how the Chief Idiot Officer he has working for him is going to bring the company to its knees, again. Sadly I doubt he would listen to someone not in an executive position, like myself.
LEDs can be used, however they must emit certain frequencies of light in order to work. Most off the shelf LEDs won't work. IIRC, different stages in the grow cycle respond only certain frequencies; so it responds to one frequency at one stage and then a different frequency in another. There are LED light arrays that only do one frequency requiring you to either move the plants or the lights. There are other products that have LEDs that do all the needed frequencies.
The bible verse ""No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" could still apply here. This guy has previously predicted the end would come a few years ago, incorrectly I might add. It's possible no one believes this prediction, not even the guy making the prediction.
This is why I'm surprised this has gotten so much media coverage. I haven't seen any of the billboards or signs except in the mass of media coverage. Based off of my observations of Christians and non-Christians, I figured that by now most people would just ignore this sort of thing.
Is there a good way to integrate Amazon VOD with WMC yet? As I understand it, the PC client has to run in the background with it downloading purchased content (no rentals) to a folder that WMC watches. The problem is it's not actually integrated with WMC and only gives the file names with no information on the video. I think I'd could get the WAF if there was an actual Amazon VOD client for WMC much like the clients for TVs, Roku, etc. and NetFlix has had a client for WMC for a while.
